    Interested in trading again

    I do remember you Lundy. Hope you can work things out. I went to Hawaii right after it became a state for a couple of years. Went into the taxi business. It was all new then and all you had to do was get a car, some insurance and a business license which was only few bucks. I bought a 51...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Who is going to go to all that trouble to make a point? I doubt it will happen but hope it does as I would like to see the Prof put the petal to the metal in realtime. Re: This thread. I have a tape by LBR that I have watched about a thousand times. She states that according to the...

    Where does everyone live/trade and how old.

    66, I started trading in March 2000, the top of the bubble, after reading about the guy who blew away all those people in Atlanta. Had never heard of daytrading up to that point. Figured it must be pretty exciting. Went full time when I retired in 2003. I live in the boondocks in rural Georgia...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    The second trade was more typical. Good ones like that first one only come along two or three times a month. The only way I stay in that long is if there are no significant pullbacks. I wish I could have seen that rebound coming. There was a pullback from the high around 2:25 that was good for...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    You gotta love this volatility. Really nice moves. I bailed when bar 49 failed to take out the low of 48 but did not go long as this recovery kind of suprised me but I am glad to see it. Means more to come.

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Should I cover cont.:D Almost washed this second trade but decided to hang on for a minute. Heehee. Not trying to be a smart ass. Just pointing out that pattern trading can be pretty lucrative too. There are lots of ways to skin a cat.

    dellboy try going to the upper left corner of your chart with your cursor. There is a drop down there. click on the clock/show pre/after market go to extension and click on always show. You may have to do the back fill also after you do that.

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Personally I dont think it is the most efficient way to make money, for me. It may be possible for someone else to change gears and ramp up when conditions are right but I am not agile enough to make constant adjustments to size when things start moving. It is much easier for this old fart to...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Sure. I check all the markets before the open. If theyre all green like this morning it makes it a bit easier to take an early long setup. I dont pay much attention to individual stocks or sectors but I probably should.:( The longer I trade it seems the less I look at. The 5 minute chart is...

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    Sometimes you can think too much. Was a fine trade imo. It was more of a breakout than a pullback but I like those if they happen in the first few bars. All market stats were positive.

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    The relative strength of the YM was added incentive to get long there. If the ES wasnt so weak we might have got a nice runup.

    Question for Grob/Hershey...

    One thing Ive found useful is to keep adding channels as the day progresses. I drew in that top trendline around 11:30 and it got hit three more times almost to the tick.

    How do I do this?

    Just copied my first one. This is really cool. I knew there had to be a way around this but didnt know they had the way around the protection too. They are creating this stuff faster than I can keep up with.

    How do I do this?

    There are a lot of different files. :(It seems like I should be able to copy the entire contents to a folder on my hardrive and then change whatever it is that points to the cdrom to point to that folder instead but I dont know enough about the way these things are layed out.

    How do I do this?

    I have a couple of apps that require that I have the cd in the player to operate. I have a huge hard drive on this computer with plenty of free space and would like to have the entire program on the hard drive so I do not have to keep switching cd's. Surely there must be a way to do this but I...

    YM Traders

    It should be obvious that you cannot duplicate papertrading results but this does not negate its value, imo. There is an interesting article in one of the recent SFO issues where they discuss this. Modern simulators can help you learn a number of things. If you think it is easy to make money...
